Long Distance Family Make Inquiry Call Over Parent’s Confusion
Perhaps when the family gathers at a family reunion at a parent’s home and everyone sees the struggles of an older person like memory loss or ambulation problems- the family may agree to call a care manager. Or the very stress of the parent’s confused behavior on top of the thought of caring for an aging parent long distance may push the designated long-distance care providers over the edge to seek help and call you.
More than 7 million American Families care for older family members from afar. This summer season many of those long-distance families will come home to an elder Mom or Dad’s house and find a scene they saw coming but still fill them with white fear.
LONG DISTANCE CARE PROVIDERS FACE SHOCK NOT AWE
Unpaid bills litter Dad’s desk. He refuses to go to church when he was a devoted churchgoer all his life. When the daughter put the potato salad leftovers in the refrigerator she finds moldy food on every shelf. When asked about the bills and the moldy food, Dad gets really angry when he was an easygoing guy all his life.
It is boiling hot and their air conditioner was not working what will happen when there is no one to check on them? He is alarmed as they did not call him, – With global warming, he feels he needs to call a care manager

One sibling has taken over Mom or Dad’s care and her/his dysfunctional midlife adult siblings just don’t want her to do this. It only takes a few drinks at dinner and snarky remarks start a fracas that leads to cut-off, which leads to them not sharing in Mom’s care, overloading the sibling caregiver, and endangering Mom’s care, through this shunning.
